The structural acrylic adhesives ARALDITE®2080 and ARALDITE®2081 from Huntsman have been developed to ensure high strength and lower flammability than traditional methyl methacrylate-based products. For most applications, they require minimal surface preparation and ensure good adhesion performance on different substrates (plastic, composites and metal) along with rapid curing at room temperature.
BASF, Flex-N-Gate, Toyota and L&L Products were named finalists for the 2023 JEC Innovation Award in the Automobile and Road Transportation – Design Part category with the composite seatback design of the 2022 Toyota Tundra. The goal was to make the vehicle as light and efficient as possible, but also cost-effective, with flexible design and more storage space for the end user.
The KAST Group includes Dr. Günther Kast GmbH & Co. Technische Gewebe Spezial-Fasererzeugnisse KG with two plants in Sonthofen, since 1995 the subsidiary Tolnatext BT. in Tolna (Hungary) as well as the 2020 founded us subsidiary Kast Technical Textiles LLP and since 1974 the sister company BAUFAS Faserprodukte für den Bau GmbH & Co. KG also belong to it.
Last week Ifema hosted Composites Madrid, along with MetalMadrid, and Robomatica Madrid, the leading event in industrial innovation in Spain, which have been attended by thousands of professionals eager to learn about the most innovative advances.
While wood is still used in modern shipbuilding, many other materials have since made their appearance, including metals, polymers, and composites. Practical fiber-placement limitations with continuous-fiber composites, resolution in machined composites, challenges accurately predicting performance of discontinuous-fiber composites lead to lower repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) values and higher costs limiting usage of these materials in applications where they could be quite useful. To solve these challenges, 9T Labs developed a new Additive Fusion Technology.

The italian compounder has created the new division Xenia Footwear Materials Lab dedicated to the development and supply of high-performance thermoplastic composites specific for the sports footwear sector.
Assocompositi joined the Lombardy Mobility Cluster (CLM), one of the nine Technology Clusters certified by Regione Lombardia. Assocompositi will take part in the strategic Work Tables for the composite sector and it will involve the members in all the initiatives that will be announced in the reserved area of the official site and through the membership mailing list.
Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed an excellent parameter set for 3D printing graphene-based structures with optimized conductive qualities. Using these parameters as a guide, the scientists produced a material with enhanced strength and conductivity, ideal for use within military applications.
Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have created a “morphing” nozzle that allows to 3D print custom parts with fiber-filled composites. This work opens the doors for new 3D printing applications, for example in the biomedical or military fields.
